I wake up tonight, feeling paper thin and I’m paper white
You say, “Just come back to bed”
Voice sounds strange, but I soon forget
And your sad blue eyes, like mine
Full of pity now, but I don’t know why
The light dims without regret
‘Til now you’re nothing more than a silhouette
But just hold quick, you’re fading right
In a cold trick of the light
I’m just so sick, I thought you might be here
But you di-disappear

All that floats upon the sea, all that hangs in the air
All that sits in dust or dirt eventually ensnared
The gentle touch of time will take you unaware
Pulling all creations down, an elegant affair

Pleasant patina pulls apart a holy copper shrine
Like gently creeping mossy claws, scarring all divine
All the things you think you value, including the gift of life
Slowly, gently fall apart, until the world is right

I want your painTo taste why you’re ashamedAnd I know you’re not just what you say to meAnd I’m not the only moment you’re made ofYou’re so sudden and sweetAll legs, knuckle, kneesHead’s blown clean offYour mouth’s paid offI want you wanting meI want what I see in your eyesSo give me something to be scared of

I know that I’m running out of timeAnd I’m wishing they’d stop tryna turn me off

And I’m walking on a wire, trying to go higherFeels like I’m surrounded by clowns and liars

Just like fire, burning up the wayIf I can light the world up for just one dayWatch this madness, colorful charadeNo one can be just like me any wayJust like magic, I’ll be flying freeI’mma disappear when they come for meI kick that ceiling, what you gonna say?No one can be just like me any way
